Mistyparrot Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have had COPD for at least seven years now. It is an affliction of the lungs. Recently a lung infection caused my condition to deteriorate, so my GP sent me to see a pulmonary specialist. When I told him that I shared my life with an African Grey parrot he said that he would not have a parrot even if he was paid a million pounds! He was so sure that my problem was caused by Mistyparrot dust! He said I should have a blood test for possible avian specific allergies. I received the results today and they were negative! So Misty is innocent. Personally I had no doubt that would be the result. I am more or less back to where I was before the infection. I am relieved with the confirmation of Misty's innocence but nothing would have caused me to part with him. Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So glad to know that your beloved Misty is not the culprit -- and I so understand, dealing with chronic respiratory issues myself. I would never give up HRH Inara under any circumstances, unless I was so drastically ill and weak that I could not literally care for myself or her.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I am so relieved! Before we got into the bird world... kids were tested as they both have asthma. No allergy to birds. THEN.... our world got taken over! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
